This product was packaged very well with no damage when I received it. The color is beautiful, I bought Caribbean, and the color is consistent throughout the product. Very nice wooden lid with a seal around it. Of course you wouldn't put the lid in the dishwasher but you can for the rest of the canister. The price of this product from Wayfair is much less expensive than other sites I have seen it on.   I know that this is advertised to be used in the kitchen but you can use it in any room in the house.
